If you're using slackware out of the box that narrows to one though. In slackware you can put biff n in .bash_login and that'll silence the beeping and new mail messages. There's also newmail that may have to be silenced or wnewmail if they're being used. Check /etc/profile and look for new mail and you should find what's telling you about new mail under that line. -- Jude
